I never once said that. Looking forward to a game on the grounds that it looks great, and saying it will be the best game out of 365 days of gaming releases, is hype.
That's fine, you like the Assassin's Creed games. I thought the first one was good. This isn't a "What You'd Rather Play?" poll, though.
It's "Game of the Year". To suggest
If you'd decided without playing, that's hype. Overhyping based on the hype. There's obviously no way it's going to disappoint you on that front, and because it's so close to the original that loving that would almost certainly guarantee loving 2.
Although, seeing as it's the only game released this year that you're interested in, obviously it will win, and that's fine.
My point wasn't "Peach is overhyping it.", my point was that people who do that are the ones overhyping games. If it happened to Batman, then that was someone overhyping it at the time. If it justifies the hype, then fine. Though my point is also that there's an element of already having decided.
